pleasantly surprised...

WOW!
forget all the bad reviews, that was ONE GOOD MOVIE!
i've been around long enough to see Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead (et. al.), but i was wary of watching 28 Days... ...especially after reading several negative reviews on the web...
so, hesitantly, i eyeballed it...
much to my surprise, it was a GREAT movie - i wasn't terribly scared, but i squirmed in my seat a few times, especially as the protagonist(s) attempted to squeeze out of their situations near the end.
truth be told, i was already feeling "down" before i started watching the movie, but i was amazed at how the director played off the oppressive feeling of dread and guilt throughout the movie - leaving the moviegoer with a sense of hope (?) near the end...
would recommend you see this and judge for yourself...
(NOTE: "zombies" move fast in this movie - not your average zombie-flick)
